Hello, Everyone! My RNY was 12/10 /14. My highest weight was 280 and I started this adventure at 245. I was 204 the day of surgery and I'm 132 today. Only 4 pounds from goal! I can't say that this has been an easy year (kidney stones and surgery to remove them) but it has been an AMAZING year! Along with gaining back my health, I gained a daughter in law and my first grandchild (Gabriel just turned 6 months old)! Today is my 60th birthday and when doing my hair this morning, I realized that I'm less grey than I was. Apparently, after the Hair loss, when all the new hair grew in, it came back in my pre-grey original color! Talk about a great birthday present!

I'm 15 lbs from my goal. My doc says it will take a year to lose the last bit. It is frustrating.

Hi everyone my surgery WAS 17 of Dec 2014 I am doing a lot better since my first 3 months just got out of the hospital again had some type of a blockage with an ulcer doctor went in there and did surgery I feel like it's coming along fine I have a follow up on the 29th I guess there's only 2% that get this blockage after surgery and I was one of the 2% 50 50 chance I will heal completely so I'm hoping it waves to my side. I was an almost 274 pounds when I started contemplating getting the surgery now I'm 151 yeah yeah I feel good other than the what's happening right now. Have never had so much energy. Don't want to lose too much more but the doctor wants me at 140 pounds it moves slowly I see a drop maybe every two weeks now. Best of everything to all and let's all HANG IN THERE.

I'm one year out and down 113 pounds! This was the fastest year of my life! I am so happy that I finally made the decision to have surgery. Best decision I ever made! I still have a little ways to go but I am so pleased with my progress.

I had RNY 12/16/2014. It has been a great year! I have felt great from the first week of surgery, no complications, no real problems with any foods or anything. I am so thankful that I went through with it and didn't chicken out as I thought about doing many times in the preliminary stages
I am 5' 2" and my original starting goal for myself was 140lbs, however I am now at 121lbs!
I cannot believe how fast this year has flown by!!

Hi guys,
I had my surgery December 15, 2014, and like you, my one year anniversary is fastly approaching. I have had a hard time with my old eating habits for the past month, but I winning the battle and have gotten back on the right path. My one year goal is to be at 239. I'm only 14lbs away, and I know that I can do it! How is everyone else doing? Also Happy Anniversary Everyone!!????????

Had RNY 12/3/14 and what an amazing year! Filled with joy, some pain, but so rewarding!!

This is me now. Down 120 ish pounds since I began this thread.

Everyone is doing Fabulous!!!!
My surgery was December 2 and I down 84 lbs. I've hit a low point in my depression so the weight has stopped coming off. My own fault , but I'm the only one who can change that.
Hoping to get my last 20 off before my 1 yr

I'm down 120 pounds and have past my goal.
I've had some pretty major complications since surgery but I'm still glad i did this.
Sw 250
Cw 125
Height 5'6
It's been a wild ride. Still dealing with a stricture.

Hi Everyone!
So glad to see everyone doing so well
I have lost a total of 101lbs since the day of surgery (Dec 16th) and a total of 123lbs total!
Here are five things that I'm so happy to be able to do since losing the weight:
I can shop at normal stores like H&M and Victoria Secret
I can cross my legs
I can out-workout very in shape men in their mid 20s next to me on the elliptical at the same (or slightly lower) resistance
I have been feeling so much self-love and self-reflection in the past few months
I look forward to working out

Hello Everyone, I'm doing great and I glad to hear that everyone is having such positive results and attitudes. My surgery was December 15th and I'm down 100lbs since surgery. 155lbs since I started my journey. I have another 94lbs to go to reach my goal and I'm not letting anything stand in my way! Keep up the great work everyone and keep pushing forward.

I am doing great as well! I had surgery Dec. 16th and have lost 80 pounds and now weigh 136. I have felt good since the day after surgery, no issues with food or drinks going down or tasting funny and other than losing weight I don't feel like I had surgery at all! I am so thankful because after reading a lot of posts about complications before my surgery I was a little worried

Hey everyone! My surgery was December 18 and I am down 91 pounds since the day of surgery. I still have about 50 more to go. I am doing pretty well with most foods except meat. I feel really good, still tired a lot but great other than that! So glad I did this!

Surgery Dec 31st and down 60 pounds so far!

Hey all, I had my surgery on Dec. 18th and am down 90 lbs from my surgery date. I weigh 175, but I am 5'9, and maybe only want to lose about 10 more lbs. I'm a size 10-12... its so awesome to shop for clothes now, and it's become my newest obsession lol. All is well, except my energy is way down. I will try to post pics soon. Best wishes to you all!

I'm doing well! I have lost 60 of the 80 pounds I have to lose (that's not counting the 42 pounds lost in the six months before surgery to get approval) I had a bit of a set back 3 1/2 months out with kidney stones but am going strong again. Plus, I became the grandmother of a gorgeous baby boy on June 16th! Life is GREAT!! ????

I didn't have a drain, I did have a catheter they put in after I was put out and didn't feel anything when they removed it.

I'm 5'2 and weighed 211 on day of surgery 2 weeks ago. I'm am currently down to 189lbs and feel awesome!????

I can tell you that personally I haven't had a single bad post op experience! I'm two weeks out and feel great! Never had any nauseous or pain or regrets, I have not even had the up and down emotions that a lot of people seem to have... Nothing but positives for me????

Merry Christmas Everyone! Had surgery on 12/16 and am feeling great! I am down 15 lb's since surgery day and have not regretted my decision for one second. My energy is improved as well, I find myself wide awake at 4:30 am and ready to start my day! Hope you all are doing well!????
